N2  - The kinetics of growth and georeaction of horizontal or vertical maize (cv. ORLA 264) apical root segments were analysed. Elongation and curvature data were fitted to a mathematical function and the effect or both light and decapitation reported. Elongation of horizontal segments was found to be more sensitive to light than to decapitation. A light treatment or the decapitation presented several effects on the shape of the growth curves. Growth of vertical segments was affected much more by decapitation than by light treatment. The shape of the curves was clearly different for decapitated and intact segments. Curvature is affected both by light
